Guitar Hero on its way to cell phones

Hands-On Mobile, the company that brought us the cell phone versions of Call of Duty 3, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and Monopoly Tycoon 2007 has decided that what we all need is a little more rock on our mobile phones. Guitar Hero Mobile is coming and, according to Hands-On's website, it's coming soon.

Based on the trailer video, it appears to borrow the graphical style of Guitar Hero III and uses tracks—fifteen to start with—from Guitar Hero II and III. There's no word yet on which handsets will support this game, nor is there an official release date.

As far as cell phone games go, I suppose this is probably a step up from the norm, but this version offers none of the features that make me a fan of the genre (multiplayer, volume, and a guitar controller).
